Luminara Pine

This short tree grows up to 2 meters (6.6 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 125 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a very thick, straight trunk covered in paper-thin, smooth, silver and white bark, and inside, the hard wood is pale brown.

The abundance of branches trail down across the ground, covered with large amounts of small, green needles. The needles themselves are light.

In late summer it produces small, red, winged seeds that float and land far away.

The roots are shallow and widely spread, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with the space between them filled with thick undergrowth.
